docs: driver-api: add remaining converted dirs to it There are a number of driver-specific descriptions that contain a mix of userspace and kernelspace documentation. Just like we did with other similar subsystems, add them at the driver-api groupset, but don't move the directories. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>

LinuxPPS: core support This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

docs: pps.txt: convert to ReST and rename to pps.rst This file is already in a good shape: just its title and adding some literal block markups is needed for it to be part of the document. While it has a small chapter with sysfs stuff, most of the document is focused on driver development. As it describes a kernel API, move it to the driver-api directory. In order to avoid conflicts, let's add an :orphan: tag to it, to be removed when added to the driver-api book.

LinuxPPS: core support This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

While it has a small chapter with sysfs stuff, most of the document is focused on driver development. As it describes a kernel API, move it to the driver-api directory.

LinuxPPS: core support This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named "LinuxPPS". PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

docs: pps.txt: convert to ReST and rename to pps.rst This file is already in a good shape: just its title and adding some literal block markups is needed for it to be part of the document. While it has a small chapter with sysfs stuff, most of the document is focused on driver development. As it describes a kernel API, move it to the driver-api directory. In order to avoid conflicts, let's add an :orphan: tag to it, to be removed when added to the driver-api book.
